KL Trip with Coffee 3

We woke up extremely early in the morning... relative to holiday sleep cycle. Coffee had to go for a medical check up for intern. We went out of the house early cause we weren't sure with the directions. This, I might say, is one of the funniest moments in our trip, same level as seeing Kwanghee in Infinite Challenge?

I have no idea how to begin this. Uhm... we drove out, correctly going into the area which the hospital was in. The GPS in the car was working, up to that point only. And... we stopped at a parking lot in front of McD. Debating what to do and even thinking of approaching the car nearby to ask for directions. But we didn't cause based on the driver's reaction, I believe they were also having a hard time figuring out their route.

Somehow we ended up continuing our path ahead. Had a few U-turns and contemplating where to go to next. Ah, and I randomly, assumed that this brown color sign was the hospital. I was extremely wrong thou, it led us to this golf resort. Laughing, and driving randomly, with the help of Coffee's memory and a map on the phone to at least know if there is any road ahead, we stopped at this traffic light to see Jusco in front of us. And on our left was the hospital.

You cannot imagine how happy we were.

We arrived early and waited a while before Coffee filled in her details and went for the tests. I was still reading Vagrant and Coffee was with Eleanor and Park whenever she was free. After completing the tests, we had to wait for the results. Hungry, we ate sandwiches at the cafeteria there.

After that we went home, with the help of the GPS this time. We packed Indian food at the stall near Coffee's dorm. We had lunch at the dorm with air-conditioning. Here, I will say, air-conditioning in KL is an addiction. I cannot stand the heat at all. Or maybe it's just me being fussy hehehe.... I'm still complaining here, in Terengganu where there is none of these electrical miracles.

For teatime, we went out for waffles. Incredibly yummy waffles. It was a café that also specialises in making really yummy waffles. Did I mention that they were yummy? They have these chocolate and caramel fountains at the counter. Looking at them was hypnotizing enough. Coffee was taking photos while we waited. I don't know if it's the atmosphere, deco or lighting, the photos are very nice. There wasn't many people at that time and it was so comfortable there.

After yummy yummy yummy waffle, we decided to have light dinner. Two main reasons. One, waffle was very filling. Two, budget for the day is at its limit. We bought instant noodles and stayed at the dorm for a night of shows and performances. Through the laptop of course, since buying ticket to a concert is too mainstream for a fan girl.

KL Trip with Coffee 2

We met up with Kira since she didn't have work. We decided it would be around Midvalley at this place called Antipodean. It's between Midvalley and the Gardens. A lovely place and the people there are so warm and welcoming that it makes me smile unconsciously.

We arrived early and sat down at the table. The menu was written on a wall. Coffee and I stretched out necks to read and discuss what to order. I was in a moment where there were too many words on the wall that I couldn't just pick one. I decided at that moment to wait for Kira since she knows what's nice.

Coffee started taking pictures and I can't remember what I was doing. When Kira arrive, Coffee was playing with the panorama effect. Kira had a cough and it sounded quite bad actually. It was uh... normal (for us) you could say. At least she was taking medicine.

Kira ordered big breakfast and Coffee went for salmon. The waiter there then recommended me grilled chicken with tomatoes and asparagus. We chatted and updated each other while waiting for the food. Kira was working at this book fest and it was crazy work. Adding in her cough, well, let's just say it's not a good mixture. By the way, food was awesome. I went and like their Facebook page. Hehehe...

After the very satisfying meal, we went to the book fest. Kira browsed through the Chinese and English section while Coffee and I went through the English section only. I still have lots of unread books at home but still... the book fest was too tempting to not buy anything. I ended up with 4 books, where there's 3 fiction, 1 I still have no idea what to categorize as. Coffee bought fictions while Kira bought about 3 bags of books. I have no idea what they were. She's a book lover so yeah, you'd expect three times the books bought as compared to mine.

After that we parted ways with Kira and went back home. On the way we bought McD for dinner. Spent the night with some more infinite challenge and running man. Ah, we also started reading the books that we bought. Wait, uh, I started with a new book while Coffee continued hers, Eleanor and Park... I'm not sure if the spelling is correct or not, sorry. I started with Vagrant.

We slept a little earlier since we had to wake up extra early the next morning.

KL Trip with Coffee 1

On the 14th of July morning, Coffee and I departed from Johor to KL for a trip. It was meant to be a triple threat thing but Tea couldn't make it. *Cries*

Coffee drove while I try my best to be a good girl and not be hyper. Did I do it? I'm not sure... I was singing to songs that was blasting from the speakers. Coffee was singing too! The road trip was about 4 to 5 hours. I was a sloth and slept through more than half of that time. Sorry Coffee, I'm noisy and a sleeper.

When we arrive we went to meet up with Pat. The lovely ladies took their thesis paper thingy and we headed back to their dorm. Coffee and I watched a bit of Running Man and Infinite challenge. Okay, a few hours of variety shows. We laughed a lot. I wonder how much calories we burnt. Coffee, mind doing some calculations?

Dinner was at this Japanese restaurant that focused on set meals instead of sushi. It's called Ichiban Ramen? I can't remember the actual full name but that's what I noted down. It was a small shop and there were a lot of customers. Luckily there was a table for two. The food was nice. I remember having rice with meat and kimchi. Don't know the actual name thou.

After dinner we toured the mall, all floors were journeyed. Coffee was the tour guide and explained where the good stuffs are. We were window shopping... There wasn't anything we specifically searched for anyway. Ah, after walking through all floors, we decided to go for dessert.

Mango Sensation was ordered and we shared it. Luckily we called only one bowl since it was HUGE. We took quite awhile to finish it.

I can't remember what we did after we went back to the dorm. I remember writing random stuff...

And so day 1 ended.

GWSWHU

She heard a light tap, signifying that someone had came into the house. In the kitchen, she stopped cutting the carrots and waited for any more sound.

The stair panels creaked a little, meaning someone is going up the stairs.

"Triel!" She shouted, knowing who it was already.

The footsteps up the stairs fastened and with a bang of the door, she knew that Triel had locked herself in the room again.


"What is going on with that girl..." She mumbled as she continued her work in the kitchen.

UnNamed

"Here's your tea. Do enjoy." She placed the tea in front of the customer with care, bowed and left. She noticed that the customer, a man in his forties, was staring at the newspaper in his hands. An article had caught his attention and she believed that he may have burned a hole into the paper if not for the cup of tea that was served.

"Thank you." He said. After taking a sip of the tea, he dived back into the newspaper.

"You tried the new chorus?"

"Not yet. I'm still trying to change it. The ice-blends here are nice, especially the chocolate one."

Two teenagers came into the cafe. A tall boy with a guitar behind him and beside him was a shorter boy with a black hoodie. Both were in their uniforms.

"Nah. I'll just get some coffee."

The two sat down at a table further inside the cafe, where it was more cooling with the air conditioning.

Her coworker served the two youngsters while she stood at the counter, thinking why is the part timer late for her shift today. The part timer was supposed to check in 15 minutes ago and yet, there was no sign of her. Should she call to see if she's coming today?

"One chocolate ice-blend, one black coffee." Her coworker came to put the order and she started making the beverages.

Serving the two boys, she went on to clean the table where a family had just finish their late lunch and left. The youngest daughter rushing for a language tuition while the elder brother has a game of basketball at the court nearby.

"That one with the guitar looks familiar... You recognize him? I can't seem to remember where I've seen him." Her coworker asked as he cleaned the cups and glasses in the sink.

"Maybe he comes here often?" She guessed. Taking another look, the boy don't look familiar to her at all.

"No... I saw him somewhere else..."

"I don't recall... maybe he looks like someone you know..."

"Hmm... don't know. You need more coffee beans?" He asked as he wiped the cups dry before arranging them back on the shelf.

"Yup. Almost out here. It's on the left side in the storeroom."

"Okay. By the way, where's that part timer? Is she coming?" He realised that the girl was already 30 minutes late.


"Not sure. I'm calling her."
